Thank you doc for this great lecture. As my team is doing vv ecmo in guite remote location, we know all that this is only matter of time, when we will be forced to do va, as patient with failing lv wont tollerate the transport. Such lectures are of great interest of us. To get knowledge you placed here, probably one must spent dozens of hours reading. Thank you, and good luck to you and your patients.

Afterload producing effect due to VA ECMO, causing worsen pulmonary edema. In your slide, we can increase the ECMO flow ( less venous blood back to LV).
Doesnt that the increase ECMO flow also increase the afterload to the heart.? and again more LV distension and pulmonary edema?

dumb question - how is the leg that is distal to the VA fem artery cannulation site oxygenated, in the retrograde flow situation?
